ATU said MacKenzie Arthur was an agricultural education major and would have been a senior during the 2025-26 academic year. She was on the Dean's List and/or the President's List at Arkansas Tech in multiple semesters.
'Mackenzie was a sweet soul,' Dr. Justin Killingsworth, interim head of the ATU Department of Agriculture and Tourism and associate professor of agricultural education, said. 'She was quiet in class, but she did great work. Mackenzie would have been an amazing teacher. She was a great person, and our hearts go out to the Arthur family.'
The Scranton School District said in a social media post that Maddie Arthur was going to be a senior this upcoming school year and MacKenzie Arthur graduated in 2023 from the district.
'MacKenzie and Maddie brought light, love, and laughter to all who knew them,' SSD said in the post. 'Their memory will forever be a part of us, and their impact on our lives will never fade.'
